喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Heroism is very great courage — the kind you notice when someone faces real danger, or tells the truth when it will cost them. We use it for and soldiers, but also for quieter acts that are just as hard. It is a formal, word: more at home in news, speeches, and stories than at the dinner table. Though actually, people stretch it. A paper may call a sports win 'heroism' when it is really skill and effort. And heroism is the quality, not the person: a hero shows heroism. Anyone can show it; it is not only for famous men in old wars.

    英勇；英雄氣概。台灣說「英雄主義」有時帶點批評，像是愛出風頭，和這裡的「很有勇氣」不完全一樣。
